* [[Art Shift]]: Although this is a photo-comic, if the background of a character is told, the strips are drawn.

* [[Blessed ~~With~~ Suck]]: Lynn's super-power is to die in the place of other people (and then to come back to life herself).

* [[Two Guys and A Girl]]: Jana, Marc and the Original-Erzengel. {{spoiler|In our world Jana is the ex-girlfriend of Marc. In the parallel world she still is the girlfriend of the Original-Erzengel.}}
